[21:08:12] <Pathoschild>	 Hi! I received a Synchbot request to create a user subpage on every wiki, but they want to store non-JavaScript text in a `.js` subpage so it's protected. Will adding an invalid `.js` user subpage on every wiki cause issues, e.g. with script analysis tools? (See https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Synchbot#Pratyya_Ghosh_2 for the request.)
[22:01:44] <AntiComposite>	 it's certainly not the best of ideas
[22:02:06] <AntiComposite>	 especially exporting JS syntax errors cross-wiki
[22:02:21] <AntiComposite>	 though if they commented it out it wouldn't be a huge problem
[22:13:10] <legoktm>	 Pathoschild: they could also use Special:GlobalPreferences
[22:13:50] <legoktm>	 but in general it doesn't really cause problems with having invalid JS in .js subpages, it's just silly
[22:14:59] <Pathoschild>	 I was going to suggest Special:GlobalPreferences originally, but it doesn't seem like the signature can be global? Or at least I don't see it on that page.
[22:16:20] <legoktm>	 oh, it doesn't

[22:34:40] <bd808>	 The best fix is disabling custom signatures cluster wide. :)
[23:01:35] <James_F>	 bd808: Indeed. So many parse errors.
[23:41:31] <Pathoschild>	 Okay, so in the meantime I guess I'll go ahead with the `.js` subpages? It's kind of hacky, but it's what they want and Synchbot can delete them later just as easily when there's a better option.
